ROOSTER TEETH’S “LAZER TEAM” OPENS JANUARY 29TH IN LIMITED RELEASE WITH SPECIAL APPEARANCES BY FILMMAKERS AND CAST ON OPENING NIGHT

With 20 million subscribers to its YouTube Network and 3 million unique monthly visitors to its website, Internet sensation Rooster Teeth is excited to share their first feature film, the sci-fi comedy LAZER TEAM, with fans and audiences around the world!

LAZER TEAM will open Friday, January 29 in the following markets/theaters, with filmmakers and cast making special appearances at select screenings on opening night.

When four small-town losers stumble across an alien crash site containing an incredible battle suit, they soon find themselves responsible for the fate of the entire planet. With this new alien equipment genetically bound to them, and the government hot on their heels, the foursome have no choice but to work together as one to save humanity. All they have to do it learn to use a strange alien device meant for only one person, train for a battle against an omnipotent enemy, and not kill each other in the process. They may not be strong, smart, or talented… but they’re Lazer Team.
